What to Focus On
- The hour hand is shorter; the minute hand is longer.
- Each number on the clock equals 5 minutes.
- 60 minutes = 1 hour
- Multiply when converting bigger units to smaller (e.g., hours to minutes).
- Divide when converting smaller units to bigger (e.g., seconds to minutes).
- Always check the remainder when dividing — it gives leftover seconds or minutes.
- 1 day = 24 hours
- Use multiplication to convert days to hours
- Use division to convert hours to days and hours
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The hour hand pointing near a number means it's that hour, even if it hasn't reached it yet.
60 minutes always equals 1 hour, so 60 seconds equals 1 minute — so 60 of anything equals 1 of the next unit.
Leap year happens every 4 years, so 2025 will be a leap year.
